Astoria, NY—The Astoria community is in mourning following the recent passing of Michael Banis, a cherished husband, father, son, brother, and friend. Michael passed away peacefully in his sleep after a courageous four-year battle with cancer. His warmth, joy, and unyielding kindness left a lasting impact on all who knew him.
